Happy Monday all.  Hopefully everyone is doing well.  

Happy Birthday to Kathy (today) and Momma (Kagen/Kaye) tomorrow!!  Hope they're good ones!

I wanted to stop by and update you all on everything.

First off...thanks so much for always being here for me.  I appreciate you all.

Tonnie is still in the hospital.  I believe the blood infection has cleared up.  Now she is fighting MRSA (skin MRSA NOT lung MRSA.)  Her wound that had the MRSA in it is slowly healing.  She's mainly in the hospital to take her antibiotics per IV.   Bless her heart, she's really had to fight through so much  She'll be in the hospital for a month this coming Friday.  Tonnie greatly appreciates all of your thoughts and prayers. 

I'm really going through a positive transition in my life.  Tomorrow I go in for bariatric surgery.  I think this is going to make a very positive change in my life, so I'm looking forward to it...although I'm nervous too.  I'm having a Vertical Banded Gastric Bypass or VBGB.  Its the more major surgery and its going to be open.  I should be home in three to four days.  I'll ask Pam to make a post about how it all went.
